I didn't know beforehand... It deeply moved me the other day after learning the whole story, but reading ^ that post from the man itself has directly moved me to tears. I haven't gone through the tough experience of losing a beloved one (yet), but I can put myself into that man's feelings and......... WOW.
Very emotional read.....I hadn't heard this full story.....just a few pieces here and there..as Im out of the loop here in Boca......left me speechless
Im glad the band took the time to do this for him....no shock .... great to see PJ did this...
Two tracks recorded during Pearl Jam’s 2006 self titled album recording sessions have leaked. One track is a midtempo souful song called “Cold Confession.” The song is pretty loose structure wise, it actually reminds me of the Mad Season songs that were released this year a bit sonically. There’s some really bluesy guitar riffs and an organ used that fills out the song sonically. Vedder sings, ‘Memory clear, cold confession that only he could hear.’ There’s other dark lines in the song like, ‘He let himself scream/He let himself cry.’ The songs also references a dark past and dark future. The track clocks in at 5:46.
“Let It Ride” actually reminds me of Riot Act, Ed’s phrasing and singing style sounds very reminiscent of this period. Ed tells the story of a woman in the song, ‘Like a book with no ending/read backwards to beginning.’ He sings the refrain ‘She’s gonna’ before hitting the chorus, the song really picks up halfway through. The song is 4:16 long.
It is "funny" to see ticketmaster is doing resale of just bought tickets. Was checking pre sale for Seattle Seahawks against New Orleans (just in case hehe), was sold out quick and then many tickets went into resale on the ticketmaster site. Is this normal or some form of legal scalping?
Wow, what an amazing song, even though I'm not particullarly fond of Ed's vocal style. What year is it from? I think I can hear some of "Black" in there, on Ed's vocal melodies and some of the chord progressions.
